Setting up a calculation
Set up the calculation name, input type, input, conversion factor, and
units. Use the conversion factor and the units to make the value dis-
played in the Rover service tool more meaningful.
When you choose the input type, you also choose the calculation type. If
an analog or pulse input is chosen, a totalization is performed. The calcu-
lation output is the sum of the pulse input values multiplied by the con-
version factor. If a binary input type is chosen, the Tracer MP580/581
calculates run hours and starts. The output is incremented every minute
a binary value is true. Starts are incremented every time a binary value
changes from off to on.
To set up a calculation:
1. In the Active Device View, click the Calculations button. The Calcula-
tions dialog box appears (Figure 42 on page 67).
